beautiful goose - looks like it's been painted onto one of my beach towels (and why not, certainly nothing better to do with them atm). Having a backgound colour does help so much in creating harmony in a scene without overworking things.

Love the photos, User, I'm enjoying watching the snow melt here - mwahahahhaaha

Very arty User - hope that's not the remains of your car, there! - and feel free to pop in anytime.

[chuckle]...no Tim...the 'tiresome' pics were not of my vehicle..but were probably the best 'visual' thing i saw this afternoon whilst searching for birds!

ps....even these flippin discarded freezers were somewhat over-chilled...!

pps...apologies for posting 'rubbish' shots...

beautiful start, so much movement and life already, love how the strokes of paint make the feather pattern without being fussy.

The sketch sheets are simply inspirational and I reckon the 'snow geese' will be a corker.

God I'm a fickle b@rstid. No sooner have I decided that snow-geese is the love of this week than that little tempter the drake goldeneye just happens to be frolicking about by the side of the path which mad-dog and I are walking on. Although nearly pitch black, I decide to stop and take a closer peek with the bins and, as soon as I do, he goes into alert mode; stretching his neck and periscoping around. I have to make a quick aide-memoire in my tiny pad and virtually run back to the house to make a version with 'colour' on it - not that there was much of that!

Im impressed young man......to knock out a quick sketch like that, and keep the mad dog from chasing it.......love the sketches.....just so you

 

[nickderry]

delightful little golden-eyed chap

 

[colleenc]

At last I have a beautiful elegant little word to describe my incomprehensible scribbles

aide-memoire

thanks Tim, yours of course are not only comprehensible but lively notes.

 

[ARTHUR BISHOP]

a super sketch Tim

 

[solitaryVSong]

Looking forward to seeing the finished Graylag Tim and really enjoying that 'aide-memoire', though I think that's a wee bit of an understatement......... It's quite an accomplishment for being done in the dark and on the run.

Great little sketch Tim. Another bird I'm yet to see in any other context apart from collections.

here I am awake and online at this unnatural hour on Saturday- two children already ferried to music and football so far -and this utterly authentic Goldeneye makes it more than worth it

Had to take the drawings just a step further.
This is a composition involving three of the four drake goldeneys which are frequenting the bay between the Sailing Club and my pier. Curiously they have 'paired off' - in that they pop around in twos, diving and displaying to each other. Confused? . . .

What can I say. Like this very much Tim...

...just oozes and oozes goldeneyeness:clap:

Bloody marvelous composition too..

 

[solitaryVSong]

Never seen a Goldeneye, but that aside this seems like one of your best! Seems to me to be a really bold composition.

 

[username]

Love the lighting, buoyancy of birds and motion of water...

ps....some idiot might even be tempted to say that the water looks 'swell'...[ooopps..groan]..

 

[colleenc]

I'm with the idiots, really swell water and got the duck in a row too so to speak, love the composition on this one.

 

[nickderry]

gorgeous - the birds, the light, the composition, everything. Is that chalk you've used on the water?

 

[jacquot]

Looks like they were really interested in what you were doing. Love it!
